Galaxy S APK Unlock Problem, urgent.

Hi guys, this is my first post and I just made the biggest error ever.
My S2 was (well, still) locked and I tried to unlock it using the Helroz Galaxy S unlock apk, I made the EFS backup, and then tried to unlock it, my phone rebooted and now I have no signal, no gsm, no NOTHING, my sim is completly blocked, I did *#06# and NO imei found. I still have the EFS backup nv_data.bin etc but when I try to apply the BACKUP from the apk it says the backup or EFS folder is not found.
I have no idea on what to do.. my phone works and wifi works, but 0% signal from sim card.
Urgent help is needed, please guys, I beg you.
Sorry for my bad english

HELP!!! lost mi IMEI and I don't have a EFS Backup

Hello, I was trying to unlock my galaxy tab P7500, and for some reason I lost the efs backup, or it got overwritten or something, base line, I don't have the backup, now the IMEI is 004999010640000 and the serial number is 00000000000, obviously, it does not connect to the network, I've tried every post I found that states I can restore my IMEI, flashed older firmware, flashed the original one and many other things, but none seems to work, so now I really don't know what else to do, I know my IMEI number and my serial because is still in the sticker on the back of the tab, and is in the sticker on the box, and is on the purchase receipt.
So any ideas what should I do?
GT-P7500 from movistar venezuela, now on Official ICS LQ8 ITV

Do u still have the imei number that on the back of ur tab? If u do I advise to you is going over to t-mobile gs 3 dev section. They have a tool call nv and imei injection and give it a shot.

thanks!, is that a web site? or a office? I'm currently in Bogotá, Colombia, so if your advice needs me to take the tab to a t-mob office I think is not going to be possible.

N9005 can't make calls and SMS

Hi folks! Im hoping someone can help me sort this out.
I rooted my n9005 using CF-root to install custom ROMs. I wanted to back-up EFS and searched google play store for an app, I found "Efs by BORIS.X.1" app.
This app is not to be used for NOTE 3 as per warning by the developer but I'm so stupid not to read. :crying:
My phone got into a bootloop and if I was able to pass boot up, after few seconds it would restart. I have scouted the forums for fixes and I have found one. I am now able to boot my phone normally but cannot make calls and sms.
My IMEI is unknown, I already fixed it using "EFS pro" tool, IMEI is showing now but still no calls and sms. I also noticed that the serial number is not the same as the one written at the back of the phone. I have read that restoring EFS solves this problem, but I don't have EFS backup.
To sum things up, the phone now boots up normally, IMEI is showing the right one, serial number still incorrect, can connect via WiFi, can't make calls and sms but phone has signal bars and says "Emergency Calls Only".
When trying to make a call, "not registered to network" shows up.
Im on MJ6 BTU firmware with root and TWRP recovery. I originally got my phone with MJ1 KSA firmware.
Im planning to bring my device to a nearest samsung sevice center but im not sure of they will accept it or if they can fix it even at a price.
It's been literally days since I had a good night sleep.
Please help. Thanks!

Having the same problem...How did you get your phone connected to efs pro? Every time I try my device reboots :/ Is it possible in recovery mode? Which recovery?
Did you find a final solution?

•You need to be rooted first.
•Make sure USB debugging is enabled.
•Dial *#0808# on your phone and select the same items in the image
•Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable and open up EFS Pro.
I still haven't figured out the solution of my problem.
I brought my phone to the nearest Samsung service center but their solution is just to replace the motherboard which is very expensive.

My phone is fixed now. The one and only solution that worked for me is replacing the motherboard. Samsung Saudi did it, and I paid a fortune for it.

Hi man. People keeps telling you to install new modem, kernel etc...but i think you have corrupted EFS folder.
I hope you backup your EFS folder before flashing ANY rom because, otherwise you will have to go to some repair shop.

Well, I don't understand a lot, but I think you could check if you didn't lost your IMEI. Go on Settings > About Device > Status and check if your IMEI still there.
If it is, I don't know what could be. You could try flash another modem or restore a backup (if you have one) with PhilZ Touch but if it isn't, that means you lost your IMEI. I remember I read about that somewhere, that there is a risk of losing IMEI when you flash a lot of ROMs.
If you have backup from your IMEI, just restore it. If you don't, I don't know what you could do, but I guess you could still do something.
One more thing: Wi-Fi works?
Like I said, I don't understand a lot, so everything I just said may be very stupid. Or not. Sorry for bad english.

Try it yourself if you think it'll work, no one else will do it for you

Hes been sarcastic surely! Or been one of those people who live to wind people up

Guys are you serious ?? The second you flash note 4 rom you will get your phone bricked don't listen to the trolls here

The N4 firmware has unique system drivers that are incompatible with any other phone, it will not work on the N3. It probably won't even flash. I'm sure you could extract the apps and install some of the system apks, but please don't actually try to flash the whole firmware or you will likely brick your phone.

Everything about the Note 4 OS is different. Even the image file extensions in the apps are different. You have a $300 paperweight most likely

goto settings more networks under connection tab then mobile networks then network operators and search for them. If that fails try differ rom and if that fails I am assuming you have somehow changed your modem. Find one for your country and flash using odin.
Also try Kies emergency firmware recovery using windows laptop or pc.
